A quick fix is to hide or disable the error, if this is acceptable. On lines 9-10 of the file sites\all\modules\ecommerce\ec_store\ec_store.tokens, comment out or delete the following: (NOTE, to date this is for Drupal 7.50, e-Commerce Version: 7.x-4.7-beta1, and Ubercart Version: 7.x-3.10)

from

function ec_store_token_info() {dpm(__FUNCTION__);

to

/*function ec_store_token_info() { dpm(__FUNCTION__);*/

Since, this is currently on an array, you need to delete or comment out the closing bracket ( } ) on line 124

In fact, similar errors or warnings related to Drupal modules may appear, and updating the modules, also additionally Drupal core, willl be the first measure you will need to perform before troubleshooting any further. Make sure you have good backups before doing so.

The best and the proper way to remove the JEM copyright from your Joomla website is to purchase the license, to support the developers who had done a great job in providing you the an excellent extension.

If your some reason you wish to remove the copyright, you may do so thru CSS, without hacking the core Joomla Event Manager files.

The CSS for the copyright line is provided in the /media/custom/css/jem/jem.css as of current version. This is not advisable to modify this CSS file as any changes can get overwritten by upgrades. Therefore, create a custom CSS overrides file, or simply add if already created, then add the following:

div#jem .copyright {display: none;}

Reupload, clear cache, reload page and check if copyright has been removed. Normally, this technique applies to most extensions.

Case Scenario

Drupal 7 installed, with Organic Groups 7.x setup. In Views, added an exposed filter for a particular field (that will filter from a Content Type that is set up as both a Group and a Group content in OG).

Exposed filter setup

Single filter, NOT required, Select all, NOT limited to selected items. See screenshots of setup causing issues.

Issues:

Not sure if this is a bug for exposed filters in general. But somehow, with this setup, the the dropdown list in the Views defaults to a selected item, instead of the expected ANY.

Due to this, another issue is presented on viewing from the frontend: the view page displays: "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator." Apparently this is due to the list already fetching a selection even before a user makes one.

WORKAROUND: Then under Options, immediately select "Limit list to selected items If checked, the only items presented to the user will be the ones selected here." If you will notice upon checking this, the Select all options have been unselected, leaving only the rest of the options/items checked. IMPORTANT! Check/Select all again.

If for some reason, in Creating Content mode/interface, your Drupal fieldsets vertical tabs are not expanding / collapsing, expanded by default, try disabling the module FileFiled Sources Plupload. It should now work. It seems there is a conflict with this module to Drupal's core fieldsets.

For some reason, probably after doing a migration, or upgrades, a still offline Joomla version 3.4.8 website suddenly does not allow registered users logging in to the offline website when previously it did. Logging in to the offline website produces the log-in error: "cannot access the private section of this site"

You may try any of the following solutions below:

Set the correct global permissions to allow the user (Registered) group to login to the offline site.

Login to backend

Go to Global Configuration > Permissions

Click to edit "Registered" (or any other user groups that requires logging in to the offline website)

Set "Offline Access" to "Allowed"

Fix the assets table of the Joomla database

Go to your database thru any of database management tools and interface, for example PHPMyAdmin

Navigate to your database

Create a backup for restoration and reloading if necessary

Run the following SQL queries, one after the other (below SQL querying is for Joomla 3.x)

UPDATE `#_assets` SET `parent_id`=1 WHERE `parent_id` = '0';

UPDATE `#_assets` SET `parent_id`=0 WHERE `title` = 'Root Asset';

This will fix any broken assets values when and where found

Rebuild your Menus and Categories

Go to your menus and any categories of your existing components where applicable (Articles, K2, etc.)

Select all categories, then click the Rebuild button to refresh and attempt to fix relevant values

Sometimes in Joomla version 3.x, depending on the homepage setup and configurations of your template and your Joomla homepage, the search field or module on the homepage will not work, i.e. it will not display the search results page. It will only refresh the homepage instead after clicking submit.

Before making adjustments and troubleshooting your SEF's and global configurations with search engine friendly URLs as recommended by other forums, try the below steps to fix the search module not working on the homepage. Below solution will provide a menu item where all search results will be displayed after clicking submit on the search module. This will ensure any related issues will be overridden by providing the results page via a menu.

Create a menu item, this can be hidden for example, assigning it under the top or any secondary menus. This must be published, and has public permissions.

Go to and edit the search module, find the line "Set ItemID" and assign the search menu item. Refresh homepage and test that the search is now working and displays the results page as expected.

Sometimes you may want or need to change the style and design look of the backend admin template, the look when logged-in administrators see when they are in the /administrator backend area. By default, Joomla loads the Isis and makes available another option, Hathor, administration templates.

How to duplicate copy of Isis or Hathor and customize template name label, color layout, logos, etc.

go to Advanced tab, change the colors and upload new logos as needed among other settings

Save and close

How to customize further the CSS styles and override styling

Sometimes above options are not enough when you need customize further. Joomla provides an administrator template override mechanism. Joomla will now check to see if there is a another CSS file named "custom.css" that it can detect and override any default styles. You can achieve this thru the following:

Common problem for K2 in Joomla is categorizing a K2 item in multiple categories or more than one category selections. To date, K2 only allows a single selection categorization. There are fixes and solutions which hacks the K2 core files, which is scary and not recommendable as this can break your website, or K2 functionality, and updates will only override these hack changes.

Below are some extensions and plug-ins that works well with K2 for tagging an item to multiple categories.If you have additional finds, please feel free to notify us.
